Many of the tests performed in schools are based on written tests. Students with poor writing skills struggle to show their knowledge of what they have learned. Our tutors work with students on spelling, grammar proper sentence structure and use of punctuation and capitals. Our tutors also teach student different writing styles and processes incorporating style, form and conventions. Having strong writing skills helps students succeed while improving their confidence. Our tutors work closely with parents and teachers to supplement what students are doing at school.

Strong reading skills are vital to your child’s success at school. In primary, reading should be fun for students but often it is frustrating. Our tutors work with students to help them effectively sound out words and incorporate various reading strategies so they can understand what they are reading. As they progress in their reading, solid reading comprehension skills are needed for them to derive meaning and understanding. We work on their vocabulary, fluency, questioning skills and ability to use text features. Our tutors work closely with parents and teachers to supplement what students are doing at school
